Bourbon

Opened my first ER12 last night. Smooth sweet butter scotch note through the middle and a nice clean finish. It’s better than the ER10 but not $100 better for the going secondary price.

Yea it was all that single barrel pot still stuff. Some bourbon some rye. I would like to try it but commiting to a 400-600 bottle is tough for something I'm not familar with. Ive had plenty of opputunities at the 8 year black bottle purple top. maybe next time I try one. The only willett rye I had was a 4 year old and tastes like burning tires. It was awful.

You must have gotten a shit bottle..I went through a spell where I was liking ryes (no longer) but I remember the willett being on top of my list for the rye’s and everyone that tried it loved it was extremely hard to find here at the time… I’ve since shifted away and have been really liking J bowman single barrel copper distilled and taylor SB.. seen a purple top willet straight bourbon the other day and bought simply because it was the first family estate bourbon I’ve seen for under $100 and remembered the 4 year rye being good.. I’ll post back later this weekend on the pour

Thats kinda the problem though. If I got a shit bottle that means that willett was ok with putting a shit bottle / single barrel out there. I have seen enough people say that they loved it to think that mostly its good. But my faith as a counsumer to pay 2-3x the premium price for a distillery that randomly puts out shit bottles is zero.

I feel the same about bookers.. think they allow shit and a couple dicks to make it out in bottles. Opened one of their quarterly batches and tried an infinite.. I’ll never buy another bottle of any of their shit
